Rejin - Statement about my use of the “coaching bug” during my time with Tricked
04/09/2020
During ESL Road to Rio (EU), I encountered a “coaching” bug that hadn't happened to me for a long period of time. Meaning I thought the bug was fixed. I then informed the admin ‘Michau’ about that bug and told him it still exists. This led to the investigation that we all know today.
It then takes me back to a period that I deeply regret, when I knew I had totally screwed up when I was coaching Tricked in 2017-2018.
I found out about the bug by accident, that if you were the first on the server and wrote coach ct/t you could get stuck.
Unfortunately, I used this bug at the time and I take full responsibility for my actions and there is absolutely no excuse for that.
One thing I can say for sure is that the players did NOT know, under any circumstances, that I was using this bug. Neither did Tricked as an organisation or Mousesports.
I have been working with Michau, behind closed doors, and I still am, to check all my demos.
After investigations, we have found that I’ve been using it for at least 4 matches:

That’s also why I didn't come forward earlier, as I wanted all the facts straight and empty my bag. I do not wish to hide in the shadows. I regret it so much and wish I would have acted differently.
I have NEVER used the bug or anything else during my time at Mousesports, and Michau has already watched and analyzed my demos throughout my time with the team.
I will take my punishment and assume the consequences, only hoping that I can do my best to deserve a second chance in the future.
I am truly sorry and I would like to apologize to the teams, all the fans out there, the whole community, Mousesports, the players, my family and friends. And last, Morten (CEO) from Tricked Esport.
